What Are The Major Tourist Attractions In Dakar?

African Renaissance Monument: This monument presents an aesthetic value as well as an ideological function. The monument was erected to promote a selective narrative of history focusing on the revivalist movement of Africa. The man, woman and child looking at the horizon articulate the future possibilities of regional growth and emphasize an optimistic approach towards the future.

IFAN Museum of African Arts: This museum has been collecting and promoting indigenous art for several decades now. Whereas western art has its own place in the annals of art history, it is always a pleasure to see the other side of the picture. To the unaccustomed eye, African art is at once exotic and surreal. It starts with a day-trip but many find themselves visiting the museum again and again.

Iles de la Madeleine: A pristine island sanctuary that few people know of, this reserve is home to a good number of birds and marine species. Some archaeological discoveries in one of its islands have added an additional charm to the island.

Lake Retba: This iconic tea-pink lake is a major attraction just about 30 kilometres from Dakar. Folks visit this lake to watch the sun set and for photography. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Gorée Island: Apart from its colonial history and slave trade, the island today is a recreational hub and a great place for beach-parties. Its natural beauty and mild climate has been a magnet, drawing tourists in increasing numbers to this day. What is more? There is not a single car on the whole island!

What Are The Public Transportation Options In Dakar?

Price-wise travellers in Dakar place their demands on the public transport service which, though much of it is in need of upgrading, continues to render services. The public bus becomes the first priority. There are blue buses that come after an hour’s interval (after every 30 minutes during rush hours) but the white ones are more frequent. Another popular option is the Ndiaga Ndiaye (a cross between a coach and a van) which can easily be spotted here and there. The car rapide is the evolution of the ever-popular tuk-tuk but this cheap and ergonomic option will soon be put out of service in the capital. However it will remain operational in the suburban areas and townships.

For visiting the far-reaches of the greater Dakar and the tourist attractions situated outside of the main city, there are a number of private auto rentals that offer GMCs and SUVs. Of course these options are expensive but travel experts and veterans recommend these to those travelling with families or in large groups.
